Vivocity 5th Anniversary ‘s Firework bursts at 9pm and hence we decided to have a dinner at the basement and chose a place with lesser crowd(around8pm), the Sawarak Noodle House  家香 面

There is a “Healthy” seafood soup on the menu with pictures, but the price is$10.70!

Wah, for juz a bowl of fish soup at a non-restaurant-style outlet, selling priceis  so expensive?

The staff explained to me that   the  ingredients are

1)slices of fish(she said much more thicker than those selling in  food court…ie next door)

2)prawns(they told me the size is bigger and more pieces are served)

3)the soup base is pork ribs and bones type…

4)abolone slices are served

Since they are strongly recommand so i order this dish

However, to my disappointment, the presentation and total tasting experice is no better than those in the food court

(which charge no more than $5!) in terms of the

1)soup base: no normal long-boiled bone-y and meaty lingering tase! it was FLAT…

    The bowl come with 2-3 pc of chrunchy deep-fried pork lard which contibuted a slim help to lift-up

    the tasty /more mouthfeel soup-base

2)the prawn is come in whole piece but when you chew its body meat or even its head portion, it did not impart

   seafood-y /shrimpy/shelly note

  All the prawns(3psc only, medium small size) are seemed prepare from frozen blocks which really not giving

   you the kind of “kick”!

3)Fish slices are thick and taste average(non-thing unique which we are looking for , for the asking price)

4)they serve this dish with a sauce which is a mixture of fermented salted  soybeans(黄豆豆豉), yough gingers

  and chopped raw red chilli.

  Oh, this is exactly same as the sauce which served in a Famous FISH SOUP store at the SeahIM food centre  just

  across the road!

 So, this remind me to compare both….

1)The price at Sheah IM for the biggest bowl of fish slices soup is merely$4.50

(Its bowl size is even bigger that this )

2) slices of fish is doubled in quantity

3)their fish slice mouthfeel  are much smoother and its fish’s autentical taste are released

4)its soup base is purely fresh boil with the fish slices, giving the sensation of seafood-y lingering effect and well match with the sprinkle -on dried vegetables(冬 菜)

So, my conclusion is when i want to take a nice authentic fish soup i should cross the street to the hawker center just in front of the bus interchange, and bear with the long Que…but is worth it and more satisfaction in term of taste and price!

(i can only buy 1 bowl of fish soup at this store in Vivocity instead of 2 BIG bowl at the hawker center…)

i m a working lady at the west side of Singapore It was a Monday blue…and i

worked overtime till 8pm..

Tired and hungry so i need to have a bite nearby

so i have chosen the nearby West mall’s Sakae sushi…

Monday ‘s atmosphere in this store is coo-sy and i was paid full attention by the Captain and the waitress They patiently introduced me some famous demanded dishes  which just enough for a

weight-watch-out lady

so i have a good time to enjoy the meals i selected from their list of recommadation

1)chicken -ramen(Kimchi-soup-base)===i have changed the Ramen to Udon, as i know Udon ‘s thick texture and bigger surface area can absorb much of the excellent spiciness taste of the soup

To my surprise…the chief  was very loyal to his job that he did not go for short -cut…as very ingredients in the dish are well prepared and give a wonderful journey of diferences sensation

profiles  eg

1)Egg===slightly salty but full of the lingering caramelic soy sauce taste

                     The waitress explained to me that the hard boiled eggs been soaked in Japnese soy sauce

2)bamboo shoots===have  cooked in such a way to retain its chrunchiness and charateristic profile

3)Chicken===tender texture with sweety note===has been marinated with some sauce, i believed

4)green vege===served  a lot and retained its green color

5)soup-base===clean yet spicy but not hot, with lingering of umaminess

I CAN IDENTIFY THE NUTRIENTS BEING OFFERED IN THIS BOWL OF CHICKEN -UDON

egg is full of lecithin and vit b2 and vitA==good for skin and eye

bamboo shoot and green vege for the fiber ladies need

red chilli in the soup has high vitA which is good for eyes

Chicken is a white meat with low fat and low bad-cholestrol===but a good protein source

Balanced meal must contains a certain percent of carbohydrate===which is from the ramen/udon

Finally i add on a Califonia hand roll where my favorite fruit===avacado served===high  value vegetable protein and traces of minerals

With the wrap-up seaweed sheet ===i know it help my in blacken my hair…and lower my cholestrol…

Last but not the least. i have drunk a lot of its free-flow japanese green tea===to help me to digest the fats and detoxify my body’s free radicals….

All ended up with a bill less than $13.00

i felt truly satisfied

i will visit you again, dear Sakae Sushi!!!
